Abstract

This paper deals with the translation of puns in Shakespeare's selected sonnets. Shakespeare was especially fond of what is variously designated as pun, a literary device that requires the reader or listener to move between two (or more) meanings of a word. Four different kinds of pun are recognized in Shakespeare's sonnets and are compared with their Persian translations to discover the different strategies used by the Persian translator.
